Grand Jury proceedings are secret, and the evidence the jurors see is controlled by the prosecutor. I would not be surprised if Halligan’s (mis)conduct in the GJ results in a dismissal. For them, getting the indictment is the end goal. Everything that happens next is a bonus.

The DOJ attorney arguing in favor of military occupation of Illinois is a Stanford FedSoc guy. Go figure fedsoc.org/bio/eric-ham...

A man was just abducted by ICE on Clark and Lunt, feet away from our campaign office. Now our community is showing up and patrolling for ICE. Join us by getting involved in Protect RP: www.facebook.com/share/1DQqPQ...

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office. ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

Robert E Maguire and Jason Hartley, two attorneys still licensed to practice law, believe one week is too long to fulfill their obligation to produce Kilmar Abrego Garcia for his criminal court appearance in their vindictive and baseless case against him.

Asst US Attorney Sean Hennessy, licensed in Maryland, is prosecuting the victim of an ICE shooting. Per her attorney, agents rushed to take her into custody at the hospital and had to take her back once her wounds started bleeding again. Hennessy argued for her pre-trial detention.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children. A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year. We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

Justice Alito recused himself from considering Laura Loomer's Supreme Court petition on October 6, 2025, due to his ownership of shares in Procter & Gamble (P&G), a defendant named as a respondent in the case. 🤣

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Jean Lin is an attorney barred in NY and a graduate of @cornelllaw.bsky.social. Jean Lin and Eric Hamilton at DOJ attempted to circumvent a lawful order and are currently arguing that the President has unchecked power to turn the military against its own people.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

ICE held a man for 37 days chained to hospital bed while registered under a pseudonym, without access to counsel or family, after they injured his legs during an illegal arrest.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Todd Blanche, barred in NY and a graduate of @brooklynlawschool.bsky.social, should be swiftly repudiated and disciplined by the NY bar if the profession wishes to salvage its rapidly dwindling integrity.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

i think the capacity debate around authoritarianism really underscores how defund the police was fundamentally correct. the biggest lurking danger in america right now is the mass federalization of local LEO like they’re trying to do in florida

this is fundamentally about america's liberal elites not having the courage of their convictions, if they have convictions to begin with. they fetishize endless discussion and discourse and refuse to simply act.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

If you see a car driving erratically with defaced plates and illegal tints, it’s a cop until proven otherwise.

The Supreme Court's ruling brushed aside, with no reasoning from the court, the district court's 52-page order and the circuit court's 61-page order affirming it.

The raid happened on Thursday. DHS is saying now, on Sunday, the US citizens and green card holders swept up in it "would be" released. Not already have been. They've been held for several days.

I've been wondering where the ABA is in protecting the credibility of the legal profession? Seems a whole lotta MAGA lawyers should be losing their licenses, starting with Bondi.

Normally states do the Guard b/c it comes with a ton of federal funding and support, that's the deal for the state-federal hybrid of it. But they don't have to. They can, and some do on a small scale, have State Defense Forces not subject to federalization. States should be rapidly spinning up SDFs.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

BREAKING HUGE WIN! 🚨 New York just announced that phone calls will soon be FREE in New York prisons, bringing around $13 million in relief annually to incarcerated people and their families. The new policy is expected to go into effect on August 1st. Spread the news!

The more you know about the history of the NYPD, the more things like this blur the past and the present. Is it 1895 or is it 2025? The more you read about it, the more you realize the history of policing is more a history of continuity and less a history of change.

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

They were fighting for their families, their community and for the tables and stomachs of every American. They fought at Glass, a medical marijuana farm for pain and mental health treatments and at a tomato farm. They fought for us.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Genuinely sickening and cruel. I look forward to living long enough to see these masked ICE kidnapping shitheels rot in prison.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

Revoking an artist's visa for their speech, no matter how controversial, doesn't make us safe. The government should not be policing the artistic or political expression of citizens, visitors, or anyone else.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

An OIG inspection of the ICE immigration detention center in Batavia, New York, found several areas of deficiency, including the unjustified use of force against people conducting a non-violent hunger strike. Report: www.oig.dhs.gov/reports/2025...

We need to see this effort in NY where law enforcement is currently permitted to conduct routine traffic enforcement with unmarked vehicles.

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

We’re going to need so many Nurembergs

Abolishing ICE was never a radical demand
